Racing Incident Report

On arrival at the Start, STERLING CITY was found to have sustained a small wound to the tongue. STERLING CITY was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said in his opinion it was suitable to race.
PENIAPHOBIA shifted in at the start and bumped SOLE POWER.
FLAGSHIP SHINE bounded in the air at the start and began awkwardly.
SMART VOLATILITY and GOLDEN HARVEST were shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
Shortly after the start, SNOW DRAGON was crowded for room between FLAGSHIP SHINE and SPALATO, both of which shifted ground.
Also shortly after the start, SOLE POWER was crowded for room between PENIAPHOBIA and LUCKY NINE which shifted out. A short distance later, SOLE POWER was steadied when further crowded for room between LUCKY NINE and PENIAPHOBIA which was taken in by AEROVELOCITY (Z Purton). Z Purton was advised that whilst where there were some contributing factors to this incident, he was nonetheless severely reprimanded and advised to ensure that he is sufficiently clear when shifting ground in future.
After the 1000 Metres, SOLE POWER, which was proving very difficult to settle, was crowded for room inside FLAGSHIP SHINE which was steadied away from the heels of STRAIGHT GIRL (Y Iwata) which shifted in when not properly clear. Y Iwata was advised to exercise more care in similar circumstances.
Making the first turn after the 1000 Metres, PENIAPHOBIA, which was travelling keenly, was awkwardly placed close to the heels of BUFFERING.
Near the 900 Metres, LITTLE GERDA got its head on the side and shifted out of its own accord.
In the early part of the Straight, FLAGSHIP SHINE lay in under pressure and consequently became awkwardly placed inside the heels of STERLING CITY after the 400 Metres.
For the majority of the race, SPALATO travelled wide and without cover.
When questioned regarding the disappointing performance of LUCKY NINE, B Prebble stated that LUCKY NINE travelled satisfactorily in the early stages, however, making the turn after the 900 Metres became unbalanced when bumped by PENIAPHOBIA. He said after this LUCKY NINE was able to rebalance and travelled comfortably in a position behind the eventual winner AEROVELOCITY. He said LUCKY NINE came under pressure rounding the Home Turn and then despite being ridden along did not improve its position and was most disappointing in its failure to respond to his riding in the Straight as it had when he had ridden the horse previously. He added he was not able to detect any soundness issues with LUCKY NINE and as such was not able to explain the horse’s disappointing performance. Mr C Fownes, the trainer of LUCKY NINE, was unable to offer any explanation for the horse’s disappointing performance. He said LUCKY NINE had pleased him in the lead up to today’s race and a forward showing was anticipated. A veterinary inspection of LUCKY NINE immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
A veterinary inspection of SPALATO immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
AEROVELOCITY and PENIAPHOBIA were sent for sampling.
